McConnell's experience

At this stage in our federal government's leadership it is imperative that we elect knowledgeable, experienced people to represent our state. No one is perfect. Neither Sen. McConnell nor anyone else can please all of the people all of the time.

However, he has the knowledge, staff and experience needed to represent the interests of Kentucky. At this political juncture we do not need two junior senators representing us. There is too much at stake; just one example being the Obamacare debacle.

Hollywood liberals

As a lifelong Republican, I believe I speak for many in the GOP who have had enough of Mitch McConnell. He's made a bundle during five terms and fresh new leadership is compelling and needed. But when I see the list of the narcissistic Hollywood liberals supporting Alison Grimes I want to gag! So for me at least my vote will go for stuffy old Mitch, enabling him to amass an even bigger personal fortune.

Beer at the zoo

My son and his wife take my granddaughter to the zoo. They enjoy the animals very much.

Why do they have to sell beer and liquor at the zoo where children are enjoying the animals? Money is all everybody thinks of now! I hope the zoo thinks of the children and not of selling beer and hard liquor!

No beer

Stay unique-no beer at the zoo. Kids will be the losers. Again, they have no vote. Another safe place gone.

Proud of Kentucky, proud of Beshear

As a Kentucky native with homes both in Louisville and Rancho Mirage, California, I am very, very proud of Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear and his administration for the huge, successful rollout of the Affordable Care Act for Kentuckians.

Kentucky is a beautiful place but with a national reputation, perhaps, of being backward, uneducated and unhealthy.

Progress is everywhere in Kentucky with Gov. Beshear and Democratic Congressman John Yarmuth of Louisville leading the way, and the future looks bright.
